No big surprise. They can't even build airplanes anymore. I think this is bigger than most people imagine. I think it traces back to circa 2000 when Boeing bought Lockheed and moved it's headquarters from WA to Chicago. I never could understand that bizarre move, putting your headquarters where there is no factory, development, nothing. And after the merger, somehow the Lockheed culture took over the whole company and still rules it today. Instead of being run by engineers and people who fly planes, it's run by MBAs and accountants focused on profits. I know one thing. Before the 737MAX, I preferred to fly on Boeing over Airbus. Today, I look for a flight with an Airbus. I also think I saw that Boeing just delivered the last 737NG. So, the one that flies is no longer in production. The ones that are supposed to fly are sitting in the Boeing employee parking lot and anywhere else they can put them. There are 100 fuselages sitting in the Midwest.
BTW, I have to ask, why haven't you been fired?
Just had to put the worst spin you could on it didn't you ? I saw the press conference after the launch , it was (probably) a software glitch that left the craft short of maneuvering fuel to SAFELY match orbits . I haven't been following this project , but aside from one mission objective being missed it sounds like a successful flight . And if it successfully lands , I'd say it was a good mission .
Probably had the same software as the 737 MAX.
So, based on this, the 737Max, etc, you'd volunteer to be the first astronaut on it? I guess the good Boeing news is that at least they won't have spaceships piling up in the employee parking lot.
I'm pretty sure Boeing just delivered the last 737NG to KLM. That means they stopped building the ones that fly and are out of the 737 biz until further notice.
"Boeing's Starliner MAX MCAS test capsule fails in space station mission"
Dennis Miulenberg *falsely* includes MCAS in the subject. There is no mention of MCAS in the cited article. Dennis exhibits the behavior of a liar.
